Bucks Beautiful (BB) hosted a gala fundraising event April 11th, drawing donors from throughout Bucks County. Supporters mingled on the grounds of Aldie Mansion to enjoy an evening of chance, via raffles and a silent auction, set to an elegant backdrop of music and fine dining, all to promote the non-profit organization’s Bulbs for Bucks program.

After a cold and snowy winter, many of us are ready for spring to bloom. And when we think of spring in Bucks County, it conjures up images of blooming golden daffodils thanks to the Bucks Beautiful “Bulbs for Bucks” program.

The “Bulbs for Bucks” program was the inspiration of Bucks Beautiful board member Chuck Gale. The goal of this program is to beautify Bucks County along the canals, highways, byways and throughout small towns and communities with the first splendor of spring blooming daffodils!

The “Bulbs for Bucks” Program is a key beautification initiative throughout Bucks County supported by caring community members. They are in their fifth year of this program and have already planted 750,000 bulbs.

The first phase of “Bulbs for Bucks” debuted in the fall of 2010, when 40,000 daffodil bulbs were planted along the Route 611 Bypass near Doylestown. During phase II in 2011, called “Color on the Canal,” 300,000 daffodil bulbs were planted from Bristol to Riegelsville along the towpath of the Delaware Canal State Park. In 2012, phase III was called “Color on the Parkway,” where 170,000 daffodil bulbs were planted along the new Route 202 Parkway spanning a nine-mile stretch of land from Doylestown to Montgomeryville. And last year the phase IV planting was called “Color Our Towns,” and consisted of 250,000 bulbs planted within Newtown, Perkasie, and Bensalem. This year, phase V is called “Color Bucks County,” and your contribution will help plant the remaining 250,000 bulbs, reaching one million daffodils.
